Funding was appropriated beginning in FY 99 for two programs; the capital grant program and the operating grant program. Public Museum Capital Grant Program From FY 99 - FY 02, $10M was appropriated annually from the Capital Development Bond Fund (CDBF) for the Capital Grant Program. In FY 03, $36M was appropriated $18 M from the CDBF and $18 M from the Build Illinois Bond Fund. Over $76M in grant funds have been used by 94 museums of many types and sizes throughout Illinois to develop new and updated exhibits, expand facilities, renovate and restore buildings, and make infrastructure improvements.
